Joining today's "From the Chair" is the President/CEO of LEAD1, Tom McMillen. Tom has an incredibly interesting story including being the top high school basketball recruit in the country, holding Maryland's highest scoring average even today, finishing as the top graduate in his class at Maryland, a Rhodes Scholar and a first round NBA draft pick. Tom takes time to discuss the '72 Olympics in Munich, the terrorist attacks on those games and the USA's controversial Silver Medal finish. Tom went on to an eleven year career in the NBA before running for and winning his election to Congress. Tom has always been an advocate for college athletics, certainly while in Congress but even more so in his current role. Tom talks about LEAD1's role as a thought leader, its role in policy creation, addressing issues like FBS governance, navigating the myriad differences in schools' needs, the headwinds facing college athletics and much more.
